US and Russia hold talks amid Ukraine tensions

The US and Russia have met in Geneva to begin the first of a series of talks over tensions in Ukraine. The US and other Western powers want to dissuade Russia from invading Ukraine. But Russia wants to discuss its demand for NATO to retreat from eastern Europe and rule out Ukraine joining the alliance. Will the talks amount to much or will there be a renewed war in Ukraine?

Also on the program: Novak Djokovic's mother says her tennis star son has had the biggest win of his career - over the Australian immigration authorities; and Uganda's children return to school after almost two years of lockdown.
